Applied manufacturing overhead = $1,320,000*30% = $396,000

Total direct labor costs = $396,000/80% = $495,000

Let Work in process,Dec.31 be X:

Work in process,Dec.31 = Work in process,Jan.1 + Total manufacturing costs - Cost of goods manufactured

X = 0.75X + $1,320,000 - 1,286,000

X - 0.75X = $1,320,000-1,286,000

0.25X = $34,000

X = $34,000/0.25 = $136,000

Hence Work in process,Dec.31 = $136,000
